A man is in custody after a standoff where officials said he shot three law enforcement officers.
A Louisiana State trooper and two police officers were shot in Avoyelles Parish.
According to WBRZ, the trooper was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, one of the police officers was shot in the lip with a BB gun and the second officer’s injuries are unknown.
The three law enforcement officers approached the window of a home to negotiate with a man barricaded inside. The suspect, identified as Brandon Arthur Carpenter, then fired a shotgun at the officers.
The standoff started after a car chase earlier Thursday afternoon.
